If he's worried about how he will be utilized, he would not be interested in another spread team like them. He should head to Wisconsin where he knows they will run the ball all day.

UM will be "another spread team" for one more year with Denard. Hoke and Borges want a more traditional "pro-style" offense with the majority of snaps coming under center with a fullback. They were trying to make the transition this year, and it resulted in some ugliness, so they scrapped it and went back to the shotgun offense Denard is more comfortable in, which worked for the past few games.

Once Denard is gone and Hoke and Borges have their own linemen and receivers, UM will be a pro-style team again basing its offense on the power run out of the I.

Looks like this one will end badly for the Buckeyes, but I am comfortable with Ball being the only back this year. Hyde, Hall, Smith, and Ball will be fine. I don't think Dunn's potential is any more than Hyde, Smith, or Ball. It may actually be less.

Lol. Dunn has a ton more potential than Hyde. The only thing that makes losing Dunn easier to stomach is Derrick Green next year!

They don't have a QB on the roster who can run a pro style offense. If they turn the reins over to Gardner in 2013, they'll be running the same offense they ran this year. Gardner looks terribly uncomfortable as a pocket passer.
